    weeeeeeeeeeeeell.... i'd still keep it... could put any *cough* flavored cigars in them or line it with felt and use it as a Man-box (yeah, we have watches, cufflinks, keys, etc.)

    see what happens in a couple weeks. then put two sheets of toilet paper (one dry and one moistened on a piece of saran wrap), leave it in for another two weeks, and smell them. if it still reeks, then do the Man-box. Just seems like a shame to throw it out...
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    Baking soda for a week and see if that works.

    If it doesn't, see if your state lets you buy 190 proof ethanol (Everclear, or any other near pure ethanol) and wipe it down. But be ready for it to possibly eat the wood if it's cedar MDF. That stuff will strip epoxy, so it'll do a number of cheap MDF resin.

    Don't toss it!

    Take mauied's advice and use it as a "man-box" or use it for holding your pens, paperclips, etc. on your desk.

    Thanks,

    I will try the baking soda first and then if that does'n't do it, I'll try the everclear and report back as to how it worked.

    Sand the inside-smell like new in a jiffy.

    My guess is that the amount of time the burned stick was in there is not enough to overcome the cedar if you sand off the surface of it a little. It is a common practice to hit cedar chests and cedar closets with sandpaper to bring out the scent after it has weakened over time. I can't imagine that the cigar's odor would penetrate deeply enough just overnight to ruin an entire cedar panel.

    "A cigar provides a man the opportunity to manipulate fire and smoke. These devastating elements of nature that can ravage forests and snuff out life are conquered and dominated by the lightest adjustment of the lips and the breath. Such awesome potential for destruction manipulated in peaceful contemplation reminds a man that he is, regardless of what others have said about him, a man." - Wigglesworth
